At BookNet Canada’s Technology Forum 2010, I condensed down 12 months of learnings, lessons, mistakes, and improvements into 40 minutes (ok, maybe 45.) This also had pieces from the “missing” Tools of Change presentation* that I couldn’t give in February, so it’s really two presentations in one. So rather than having to fire up your own hyperdynamic, warp-speed-running ebook startup, you can get the benefit of all of our best insights from the comfort of your own home. So make some popcorn, grab a soda, sit back, and let the ebook extravaganza begin!
